Out-Spoken Press Book Launch: Somewhere Something is Burning

Please join us to celebrate the launch of Alice Frecknall's stunning debut collection Somewhere Something is Burning — with poetry from Alice and special guest readers Toby Campion and Laurie Ogden, hosted by Out-Spoken's Joelle Taylor.

‘The great thing about these surreal, dazzling poems is how they follow their own, always unexpected logic and pull the reader along with them as well; beneath the luminous imagery lies a heart that will move and beguile you.’
— Andrew McMillan

An examination of solitude and absence, the poems within this collection grapple with the reality and taboo of loneliness pitted against an anxiety of connecting. Frecknall’s leaps of surreality, extreme empathy and vivid imagery make Somewhere Something is Burning a compelling joyride of a read.
